Probably the best unknown vocalist (with Chicago for 28 years) Bill Champlin is also a multi-instrumentalist who plays piano, Hammond B3, rhythm guitar, acoustic guitar, and is also a songwriter. I’ve been a fan of Bill Champlin since the Sons of Champlin played the Fillmore West in 1970! He is truly a musician’s musician.

Now that he’s finally left the band Chicago, he is doing a solo tour to support his solo release, called “No Place Left to Fall”. And lucky you, he’s gonna be in your area at:
***ANTHOLOGY***

He will no doubt put on an amazing show with all the great new material on this CD.

Here’s what Cincinnati’s CityBeat’s Brian Baker said about Bill Champlin & the release:
August 28, 2009

“…When Bill Champlin finally scored a deal with Dreammaker Music, he already had four full CDs of tracks to choose from. The best of the bunch clearly wound up on No Place Left to Fall, Champlin’s first solo album in over a decade. To their credit, Dreammaker allowed Champlin to stretch beyond genre limitations, giving him free rein to explore his songs as classic Rock thumpers (“Total Control”), visceral Blues smokers (“The Truth”), Jazz/Pop workouts (“Never Let Go”), stunning Pop contructions (“Never Been Afraid”), Funk/R&B jams (“I Want You to Stay”) and Gospel tinged hymns for an electric church (“Lookin’ For You”). As a result, No Place Left to Fall is an amazing sonic scrapbook of everything Champlin does best, which is pretty much everything.

SOC and Champlin fans will obviously cartwheel over the album, but this is clearly a set that transcends simple description and could find an audience among nearly every aspect of the AOR/Classic Rock demographic — fans of Chicago, Toto, Delbert McClinton and Boz Scaggs take particular note. The production is sophisticated without being slick, the performances are solid without being overworked and the songs are heartfelt without being sappy. If no one pays a lick of attention to No Place Left to Fall, Bill Champlin can rest assured that he has crafted a classically masterful album that may well redefine what constitutes his best work.”

The DVD is a documentary on the making of the album – which is very nicely done. I think what stands out most is that Bill is so down to earth and is all about the music not the stardom. Both together are just $14.98
